My favorite atelier game so far, my only complaint is the pacing of the combat system before the mechanic and high level traits open up because it's boring. That and Monica. Fuck Monica.
Everything else is great, 8.5/10

You must at least be 18 to post here kid. Go ask your parents to buy you a PS4 for christmas.
>>340789542
Yep. You can just chill on maps now and harvest/kill infinitely. You have AP instead though which decreases from gathering, battling, etc. (pretty slowly so far from what I can tell) and hinders your dmg and other stuff.

Why the fuck do they do this?
Why do all these low-budget JRPG games run so terribly?
I've experienced massive frame drops with NOTHING on screen but the player and the ground.
>>340789542
They got rid of the main time limit in Shallie. In Sophie there are requests with time limits as well as a date and time system, though.
It doesn't make much of a difference because the time limits in the previous games were so lenient. Fucking E&L had months of downtime, I'm glad they moved past it.
Do they still do that shit where they talk after every 5 minutes?
>>340789443
>Fuck Monica
Congrats on literally having the worst taste possible.

It runs at 60 fps without drops on PS4
Are you playing on a vita or something?
>>340789938
>It doesn't make much of a difference because the time limits in the previous games were so lenient.
Still not lenient enough for me.
As someone who only played Rorona in the series I'm kinda lost. Like why are there so many fucking gathering areas? When the fuck can I finally build better weapons? Also not a big fan of the new alchemy system and the trait limit on items.
>>340789938
E&L gave you like 3 months to complete a single braindead task and then an entire year to finish the final dungeon. It was stupid
>>340790269
The only time limit quests I've run into so far are kill quests.. which have time limits because you get more gold per monster killed. So they didn't put a cap on the time limit you could abuse it and get infinite gold (probably).. I've only been playing a few hours so idk if there are other time limit quests yet.
>>340790460
You can transfer more traits as your alchemy level gets higher, up to 3 per item
>>340790576
There's a limit on how much gold you can get for kill quests.
>>340790630
Yeah the tutorial said so. Rorona had 5 I think. I'm not anywhere near the end of the game yet so it might not be as bad as I think but crafting postgame gear in rorona was one of the most satisfying things in vidya I've ever done.
>>340790576
The dude said there's a limit to how much he can pay you for kill quests. I think there are diminishing returns for killing a lot of mobs to the point where it isn't worth it

>>340788812
>>340790724
I wouldn't say it's really bad because you have to combine more traits when synthesising materials to get optimal traits.

Is this a bug? It originally had "Alchemy Lv 3 too low" and then once I made it it's at Lv 1 now? The fuck I'm level 9 god damnit.
>>340791660
No. But it's your average atelier localization. It actually means that you're one alchemy level under the itemlevel. Your alchemy level is 9, next to the bomb it says Lvl. 10
>>340788667
You're doing it wrong. It's
What's the /v/erdict?
>>340791660
You need to be alchemy level 10 to make a good one. You can make it early, but it won't be that great.
Notice: 10 - 7 = 3. 10 - 9 = 1.
>>340791660
does it mean 1 level too low?

Why do people like this series so much?
Waifu fags?
>>340792694
It's a game about alchemy.
>>340792694
Complex crafting system with fun, old-school turn based combat.
Also, waifus.
Pretty good so far. The recipe idea descriptions aren't as poorly translated/worded or organized as some of the tasks from Shallie were.How long till Book gets a human body? She just remembered that she made the Cauldron thing. I keep talking to the puppet guy too, but nothing happens.
Is it possible to transfer Dragonscale Defense to cloth or metal?
>>340793540
It's a story thing. Just keep restoring the memories.
Never played any of those Atelier games.
What's so good about them?

>>340793076
>Complex crafting system
What do you do with the stuff you craft? It's all just combat items right? I was hoping for Capitalism Ho! where I could just craft and not have to fight.
>old-school turn based combat.
I read that as "Generic run of the mill JRPG combat"
>>340794064
yep
>>340794064
>What do you do with the stuff you craft?
You craft alot of shit. Items that help you exploring, equip, heal / damage items, items that carry special traits that you need for better items, quest items and so on. Here's a trait chart for rorona just to give you an idea.

>can't upskirt

>>340794830
The best games make you work for your upskirts.
Games like neptunia just hand them out like candy.
One of the weaker Ateliers in my opinion. Characters are pretty boring and combat is a step down from Dusk.
>>340794001
they are pretty comfy
>>340788667
Best RPG this year.
>>340791238
Ive had his happen during the day time either outside the church or at one of the shops on the Street. If you ever see him in the plaza when fast traveling, check it out.
Im in the same position with Monica. Though its possible the story has to progress more or something, not sure.
>>340794973
You have pretty poor taste.
>>340794064
It's a balance of crafting and fighting. The older games are like Recettear in that you have a deadline where you have make x of something in time or it's game over. The newer games not so much, since it was a bit too challenging for the waifufags.
>>340796702
Please elaborate. Which of the Sophie characters do you find enjoyable? And saying Shallie has shitty characters has nothing to do with Sophie, in case that was going to be your response.
>>340797225
How do you even change costumes? Are they all DLC?
Only started and that's my first Atelier but so far I really like it, comfy as fuck.
Who do I proceed to unlock the idea recipe which require some sweet? Can it be looted? Tried to make some, to duplicate it and the buy it but it's still locked
>>340797596
I think they need to be salty. You basically unlock salty through the alchemy grit, it's one of the bars in the bottom right corner when crafting.
Anyone else have some screen cut off? The previous games had an in-game adjuster but this one doesnt. Its set up correctly on ps4 too. Had the same problem with Senran Kagura too.
>>340794973
>it's another "dusk babby thinks his opinion matters" episode
>>340798043
Only thing I can think of is the display area in the PS4 settings.
>>340798076
Why are are Arlandfags incapable of discussing Atelier for a single post without immediately shitting on Dusk while not actually presenting any arguements?
If you think Sophie or any of the Arland games have a better battle system than Dusk you're fucking delusional.
>>340797815
Yes it needed some salt with it if I remember right. Thanks, I had yet to encounter a formula with this sort of need.
>>340798324
>m-muh combat in a series centered around crafting
This is why no one takes dusk shitters seriously
>>340797225
>I recognize that bulge
Too bad it's censored in NA! HAHAJust kidding..I hope
>>340798324
I do think sophie's is better. Dusk's was fun, but it was always the exact same combination of support attacks every time to the point where it was mind numbing. Sophie manages to make that part of the system quicker/automatic and further expand on it in a tactical rpg way
>>340798481

I'm sorry Dusk didn't have enough /u/ shit for you, you retarded Arlandfag.

Hold the fuck up
This guy just charged me money to tell me about himself? How much of a jew can you get, Horst
>>340798957
I can respect that. Personally I prefer the fast-paced feel of active supports, even if I can see how they'd feel repetitive. I just don't feel very involved in Sophie's combat.
>>340799182
At least apparently I've aged from a baby to a child. At this rate I'll be a full adult before you actually offer any argument.

I think Ayesha was the first one that was widely popular for the series. I definitely know it was the first one I played for PS3. Was good times. After that I tried out Totori and Rorona. Ayesha had some better vibes though. Probably mostly just nostalgia though, desu.
>>340800506
>widely popular
Everyone recommends Arland tho.
>>340800506
>nostalgia for a trilogy that was only one year old when Ayesha came out

The new artstyle sucks big times. Ayesha was top tier cute, everyone in sophie looks like a fucking retard.
>>340803757
>everyone in Sophie looks like a ducking retard
They do. Not because of the artstyle, though. It's because Gust completely fucked up turning the artist's designs into 3D models. Go to Leon's status page and look at her illustration. It looks great, in my opinion. Then go compare it to her mongoloid 3D model.
>>340801739
No he's sucking Sophie's dick to help his friend.
Oscar is a bro and if you don't have him on your main team you are a waifu fag.

>>340807662

>>340810416
I liked dusk
>>340810416
Ayesha was pretty good. Escha & Logy had improved combat, but world map was cut down a fuckton and pacing was horrid.

They accidentally released the free costume and music pack a few weeks before the game's release. They were supposed to be preorder bonuses. I don't know what they're going to do with it now since they still haven't made it public. I snagged it during the mishap and already downloaded them. Seems to have installed fine.
